I just started my first course without having to dismiss "public static void" in the first lesson as "we'll get to that later". I'm loving this. (sh.itjust.works)

You mean this?

Now Java supports top-level instance main methods and class-less compact files. That means now the following declaration is valid:

void main() {
    System.out.println("Hello from Java 25!");
}

I'll be honest, I don't get the point of this feature. It's nice for beginners or for writing small, quick, programs...but for the overwhelming majority of all java code I don't see it being useful

the trend of serverless means that people are writing a ton more programs that are smallish single endpoint things. not that a ton of people are using java there, but that was a major motivation for c#
